So, Maggie, that's an emphatic "yes" then?

So you do enjoy it, sometimes. I can live with that.

The original issue, now:

I don't care message board stats that have to do with "who has the most posts" or "how high can I get my post number".

Though I do sort of like when a thread (like this poll-thread) is put down early on by some Cellar long-termers, though it has gotten many votes, and many "times viewed".

So, I don't care about my personal stats or post numbers, but I get a chuckle out of the fact that this thread has lasted (not only as a vehicle for you to insult me), and the actual poll keeps getting votes.

I will take a leap and say quite a few here liked the poll, and got the humor implied.

And it's not all about me... so I am clear... I'm not smugly happy that my thread did well. I like that "big shots" tried to shoot this thread down early on, and yet it got a lot of votes and posts (the votes being the number I pointed out originally).

I am laughing at people that wanted to tell me how to post in the Cellar, though when I do post using my "style" and my humor, the thread gets a lot of interaction.

And look, I haven't insulted you yet. But you keep scanning every post I have, and quote them, and attack or challenge me. Because, you enjoy it.

A lot of people pay attention to Paris Hilton's work too. Not because they like it, but because they can't not look.

Well, my original post was just a mere observation, a momentary chuckle. But the words seemed to resonate more with some here.

I think we all have to accept that "taste" is subjective. People like different things. It doesn't seem like rocket science to me.

Yes, it's like watching a car crash on the side of the highway.

How, exactly, is it like that? What common traits do these things share?

Well, its not something you want to be a part of, but you're drawn into it anyhow because its right there in the other lane as you pass by - a car wreck with a dead horse in the middle of the road. It slows traffic, and you have to creep by and can't help but look at it. :driving: :dedhorse:

Why? Why wouldn't you want to be a part of it?

(the thread, not the car wreck)

Because its old news. We've been over it before. But every time I log onto the Cellar, there's this thread sitting near the top of home base. Try looking at the thread at the bottom of the Cellar. You might be amused.;)

I don't know if you knew this, but it wouldn't be at the top if people stopped posting on it. Like when you posted on it just now, and then again when I posted in response to your post.

so flint, you're a drummer? in texas? got a band?

Flint 04-21-2006 01:46 PM

@twentycentshift: Yes, we do a strange brew of covers from Pink Floyd to Willie Nelson to The Meters, and a heavy dose of originals and improvisational funk. Just a little bar band project, I've got so much else on my plate right now, from working as a System Administrator and going back to school after ten years to just buying a house and having our first baby (soon). The gigs let me blow off some steam and keep my chops up. You?
